Savannah River National Laboratory (SRNL) will be receiving 4 replicate 1-liter frit decon aqueous samples, and 2 replicate 1-liter frit decon wet solids samples from Defense Waste Processing Facility (DWPF). These samples will be analyzed and the constituents compared to the Effluent Treatment Facility (ETF) Waste Acceptance Criteria (WAC). This work will take place in B-103 radiochem hood with sample submission to SRNL Analytical Department (AD) for analyses. These samples are all very low dose radioactive with whole body dose rates of nominal 0.01 millirem/hour. These samples are generated from frit blasting of the outside of the DWPF High Level Waste (HLW) steel canisters that contain HLW glass. The frit blasting generates residual frit that is washed/slurried with water during the outer HLW container frit blasting process.
